Shane Lacey Hensley pioneered an innovative way to structure adventures using the Savage Worlds Plot Point Campaign technique. Adventures are generally short (about 500 to 2000 words long, generally 2-3 pages) and broken into Plot Points (adventures that form the backbone of the campaign) and Savage Tales (stand-alone adventures that can be inserted as needed). It’s the best adventure format on the planet in my opinion. You can learn more about Plot Point Campaigns here.
Here is a list of all settings I know with Plot Point Campaigns. Excluded are settings such as Pathfinder for Savage Worlds or Flash Gordon which follow a traditional linear campaign adventure approach. This wiki page has a larger list of many more Savage Worlds settings though many don’t have plot point campaigns.

Dogs of Hades (Savage Mojo)
“Garden of Athena is a planet of adventures among the ancient Greeks… but in the far future, with energy spears and Pulse shields. Experience science fiction with epic politics in the style of Frank Herbert’s masterpiece, Dune, and epic battles to make all the Greek poets proud. Nearby barbarian planets are subdued, mostly, and the city states are at the height of their power. Yet all is not well in the state of Methone. By the time this epic’s told, the characters will either be Heroes, or tragic witnesses to the end of an era.”
